Healing by D.H. Lawrence

Healing

I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections.

And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly, that I am ill.

I am ill because of wounds to the soul,

to the deep emotional self

and the wounds to the soul

take a long,

long time,

only time can help and patience,

and a certain difficult repentance,

long difficult repentance,

realizations of life’s mistake,

and the freeing oneself

from the endless repetition of the mistake which mankind at large has chose to sanctify.

by D.H. Lawrence
